Ummm. I don't think so. KTM twins accidentally sent me the KTM racks when I ordered the TT's. they don't compare well. Only one strut bar, they felt like lighter steel(subjectively), the black had wear marks from being packed and shipped.

I think so there are 2 KTM branded luggage racks. One looks exactly like the TT like the rack.

These are the ones I was referring to: http://www.ktmtwins.com/ktm-690-endu...carrier-system They even come in TT packaging. Apparently, which is a better deal depends on where you live and where you get discounts. The TT were $345 plus shipping. The KTM racks with a discount was $275 with free shipping. The KTM ones shown, at least the ones I received, are powder coated stainless steel. So, if the powder coating gets worn off, they won't rust.

I've been using it for a while now and it has turned out to be pretty good. If completely stuffed it's maybe just a tiny bit too long as a tank bag on the 690 but it works as a tail bag as well. I've also used mine as a pannier top bag on the GSA since it's a perfect fit.

A while ago I strapped the bag on top of a kayak and took it for a week of kayaking: compared with the usual roll-top bags the zipper does come in handy when you just want to grab your camera, snap a picture and move on.

It's pricey for just a tank bag but the versatility sorta justifies the cost.

I have yet to order my system. Wolfman racks are very expensive compared to these. What mfg is the top rack portion of this system?

The racks are more than strong enough for weekend gravel roads and forests, it's only the single lower support that is of any concern if you where doing some a desert crossing or something and carrying lots of weight. The top alloy rack is a nice custom made job, I just haven't had time to make my tourtech rack. AdventureMoto.com.au here in Aus had a good sale on the wolfman Monarch soft panniers now fitted

They are bound to have issues lining up with the holes then. Better get my drill out when they arrive!

I doubt you'll have issues. 4 buddies and I put the KTM racks on our 2013s and none of us had a problem with alignment. However, I would recommend using lock washers AND loc tite on the bolts that attach the racks to the footpeg bracket. We all had issues with those bolts loosening on a fully loaded week long trip in Utah. The bolts are stainless steel too. What is usually the issue with TT bolts?
